About this event
ImproFestUK2019 - Improbotics present “Artificial Intelligence Improvisation”
Improbotics is a tech-infused improv comedy show and a live Turing test science experiment. An actual artificial intelligence-based chatbot is performing in the show and tries to pass as human as it sends lines to one of the improvisers via an earpiece.
Our impossible and hilarious challenge is to justify physically and emotionally lines that make no sense at all. Co-created by robotics researchers Piotr Mirowski (UK) and Kory Mathewson (Canada) as well as by drama director Jenny Elfving (Sweden).
Featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and New Scientist.
“This could be revolutionary” (Broadway Baby, Brighton Fringe 2018).
“Kory and Piotr boldly and hilarious go where nobody has gone before: actual artificial intelligence improvisation. ” - Colin Mochrie, August 2017
“Boundary-pushing science plus talented meatbags equals a standout Fringe experience” - Edmonton Fringe, August 2018
The show lasts approximately one hour.
